The Story

Step into the squared circle with one of professional wrestling's most feared technicians. This LJN Wrestling Superstars figure captures Greg "The Hammer" Valentine in his mid-1980s prime, when his devastating figure-four leglock and relentless in-ring style made him one of the WWF's most formidable Intercontinental Champions. Released in 1985 as part of LJN's groundbreaking Wrestling Superstars line, these larger-than-life figures brought the excitement of Saturday morning wrestling into homes across America.

LJN's Wrestling Superstars series revolutionized sports entertainment collectibles with their solid construction, distinctive sculpting, and authentic ring attire. Valentine's figure showcases his classic look complete with his signature blonde hair and wrestling trunks, perfectly preserved on its original card backing. The dramatic card art and bold WWF branding transport collectors back to the golden age of territorial wrestling, when figures like these were must-have items for every young wrestling fan.

This example shows honest wear consistent with nearly four decades of existence. The card displays corner and edge wrinkling with discoloration characteristic of aging cardboard, and some bending has occurred over the years. A previous price sticker remains affixed to the top right corner—a nostalgic reminder of the toy aisle. The left edge shows a paper tear and cardboard split that tells the story of this piece's journey through time. For collectors seeking an affordable entry point into vintage LJN wrestling figures or fans of "The Hammer" himself, this piece offers authentic 1980s WWF history at an accessible price point. The figure remains securely attached to its original card, preserving the complete package that made these toys so iconic.

Heavy wear. Multiple creases, significant corner damage, possible small tears. Bubble may be partially detached, cracked, or heavily yellowed. Still carded but shows its age hard.

The Stuff You’re Probably Wondering Before You Smash ‘Buy Now’

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How Fast Do We Ship?

Most in-stock orders placed before 12 PM CST ship the same day. We’re label-printing, box-packing machines — without skimping on quality. Your tracking number will probably show up before you’ve even closed the tab.

How Do We Pack Orders?

Every item gets collector-grade treatment: bubble wrap, proper padding, and zero envelope crimes. We pack like your grail’s riding shotgun with us — damage rate is under 1%.

Are You Actually Collectors Too?

Yep. We’ve been hunting plastic treasures since the ‘90s. We speak fluent collector (MOC, BAF, grail hunting), we’ve camped outside stores for midnight releases, and we run this place like the shop we always wished existed. Professional enablers at your service. 😎

What's Your Return Policy?

30 days to decide if it’s true love. Not happy? Full refund to your original payment method. Damaged? We replace or refund fast. Just keep items in the condition you got them, and we’ll make it right — because the only drama in collecting should be choosing a display pose. One exception: trading card game product is final sale, since a sealed box can’t be verified once it leaves our hands.

Pre-Orders: How They Work

Calling dibs costs you $0 today — we only charge your card when it ships. No awkward “I paid months ago” limbo. Mixing in-stock + pre-orders? In-stock ships now; pre-orders ship together once the last one lands, and shipping’s charged on each leg (pro tip: check ship dates before combining pre-orders). Dates can shift — we’ll keep you posted faster than Spider-Man slings webs. And if we ever can’t deliver (rare), you’re not charged a dime.

Still Stumped? Let’s Talk.

We’re real collectors who actually answer — no bots, no scripts, no hold music. Shoot us a message and we’ll get back faster than you can refresh your tracking number.
